Automotive coachbuilding at the highest level is becoming increasingly rare. The BRABUS BODO represents one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by BRABUS, transforming a high-performance Mercedes-AMG platform into an entirely bespoke carbon-fibre grand tourer that combines hypercar performance with handcrafted luxury.

Named in tribute to BRABUS founder Bodo Buschmann, the BODO is far more than a modified Mercedes-Benz. Featuring a completely redesigned carbon-fibre body, a 1,000-horsepower V12 Biturbo engine, and an extensively reimagined interior, it stands as one of the most exclusive modern GT cars available today.

With a top speed of 360 km/h and a distinctive coachbuilt identity, the BODO occupies a unique position between luxury grand tourer, supercar, and collectible automotive artwork.

A Bespoke Carbon-Fibre Coachbuilt Design

The most striking aspect of the BRABUS BODO is its entirely bespoke body.

Unlike traditional tuning conversions, BRABUS developed a complete Gran Turismo Coupé body constructed entirely from carbon fibre, creating a dramatic 2+2 grand tourer with its own identity.

Exterior highlights include:

  • Full carbon-fibre coachbuilt body
  • Piano Black exterior finish
  • Shadow Chrome detailing
  • BRABUS Signature headlights
  • BRABUS Signature taillights
  • Illuminated BRABUS grille lettering
  • Exclusive “77” Heritage emblem
  • Bespoke aerodynamic styling

The result is a design that feels both timeless and futuristic while remaining unmistakably BRABUS.

1,000 Horsepower V12 Performance

Power comes from one of the most extraordinary engines currently offered by BRABUS.

The enlarged 5.2-litre twin-turbocharged V12 produces:

  • 1,000 hp
  • 1,200 Nm of torque
  • 735 kW
  • 0–100 km/h in 3.0 seconds
  • Top speed of 360 km/h

This immense output places the BODO among the fastest luxury grand tourers in the world while maintaining the refinement expected of a premium GT.

Engineered for High-Speed Touring

While capable of hypercar-level acceleration, the BODO remains fundamentally a grand touring machine.

Performance enhancements include:

  • BRABUS SportXtra suspension system
  • Electronically adaptive dampers
  • Carbon-ceramic braking system
  • Variable drive modes
  • GT mode
  • Sport mode
  • Sport+ mode
  • Wet mode
  • Individual mode

The chassis setup allows the car to transition effortlessly between long-distance comfort and high-speed performance.

Exclusive Monoblock Z-GT Wheels

The BODO rides on a bespoke set of BRABUS Monoblock Z-GT Shadow Edition wheels.

Specification includes:

  • 21-inch forged wheels
  • Black finish
  • Continental SportContact 7 tyres
  • 275/35 ZR21 front tyres
  • 325/30 ZR21 rear tyres

These lightweight wheels complement the car’s dramatic stance while ensuring optimal grip and stability.

Carbon-Ceramic Braking System

To match its extraordinary performance, the BODO features an advanced carbon-ceramic braking package.

Highlights include:

  • Carbon-ceramic brake discs
  • Internally ventilated construction
  • Six-piston front calipers
  • Four-piston rear calipers
  • BRABUS black brake finish with silver logos

This system provides consistent stopping power even under extreme driving conditions.

BRABUS Masterpiece Interior

Inside, the cabin showcases the brand’s renowned Masterpiece craftsmanship.

The bespoke interior includes:

  • Black BRABUS leather upholstery
  • Shell quilting design
  • B-logo embossing
  • Special BODO stitching
  • Leather and Alcantara steering wheel
  • Leather dashboard
  • Leather door panels
  • Leather headliner
  • Quilted leather flooring
  • Fully upholstered luggage compartment

Every surface reflects the level of detail expected from one of BRABUS’ flagship creations.

Signature Bodo Buschmann Tribute Elements

As a tribute to BRABUS founder Bodo Buschmann, several unique features have been integrated throughout the vehicle.

These include:

  • Signature “Bodo Buschmann” door detailing
  • Exclusive BODO embroidery
  • Heritage-inspired exterior elements
  • Custom BRABUS accessories
  • Weekender bag
  • Indoor car cover
  • Masterpiece key cover

These bespoke touches reinforce the personal significance of the project.

A New Interpretation of the Modern Grand Tourer

The BRABUS BODO is not simply a tuned luxury car.

It represents:

  • A fully coachbuilt BRABUS creation
  • A 1,000-horsepower V12 grand tourer
  • Extensive carbon-fibre engineering
  • Hypercar-level performance
  • Handcrafted luxury throughout
  • A tribute to BRABUS founder Bodo Buschmann

Few modern automobiles combine exclusivity, craftsmanship, performance, and emotional significance quite so effectively.
